1. Personalization that’s individually created for everyone.
Sure, you’re already segmenting your audience and emailsーbut how are you catering to the individual? Every newsletter you send out with rasa.io is completely customized to each reader. Over time, a reader’s newsletter will become more and more relevant as they click links and teach the newsletter what he or she is interested in reading.
2. Automation that lets you set it and forget it.
You can customize the frequency, day, and time that newsletters are sent. This allows for easy optimization of your newsletter strategy by focusing on a send schedule that fits your audience and by fetching relevant content to fulfill newsletter goals.
3. Strategic insights help you learn the interests of each individual subscriber.
Learn about the individualized preferences of your audience on a single-subscriber basis, not your audience as a whole. Our platform provides insights on when subscribers first subscribed, when they opened your last newsletter, what topics they’re most interested in, and more.
4. Content featuring lets you boost any article you choose.
If you want to ensure your readers read a particular article, you can boost it to the top of your newsletter. For example, if your team published an important blog post, boost it in your next newsletter to make sure every reader sees it.
5. Easily link your most important business tools with app integration.
The days of worrying about manually updating your apps are over. Connect your other business tools (Salesforce, Mailchimp, Zapier, Shopify, HubSpot) in just a few clicks. For example, new customers can be automatically subscribed to a newsletter when they’re added to HubSpot.
